New York Fashion Week provides a platform for designers to express themselves and, among other recurrent themes, a major one this season has been how they would respond to current events (if they decided to do so at all). While some designers opted to embody a more “down with the people” feel, others – by design or not, pun unintended – opted for a touch of luxury, or at least their version of...

With all the political unrest happening around the world, it’s no surprise some designers weighed in on the conversation. How could they not? While some opted for a more symbolic and focused expression – think Jonathan Simkhai’s or Creatures of the Wind’s messages of female or community empowerment – others went in for bold statement graphics, not leaving much to interpretation. They say an...

Suits – whether pants or blazers – have often been associated with a form of power, or at least accepted and recognized as projecting a sense of being “down to business" and needing to be "taken seriously.” They have for decades (picture most powerful women – or for that matter men – characters in many US movies from the eighties and nineties), and they continue to.

It’s safe to say the United States – and the world for that matter – has not quite been the same since this past November. There’s a certain confusion and worry in the air, and what might have felt normal (or even safe) politically, socially, or economically has changed. Some of the very rights...

It’s safe to say the United States – and the world for that matter – has not quite been the same since this past November. There’s a certain confusion and worry in the air, and what might have felt normal (or even safe) politically, socially, or economically has changed.

Designers turned their attention to the shoulder during day two of fashion week, using various techniques to update simplistic silhouettes.

Designers turned their attention to the shoulder during day two of fashion week, using various techniques to update simplistic silhouettes.

How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!

May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples, and your mouth like the best wine.
